How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better drip art results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple single-color drips: 20-25 seconds. Multi-color drips with complex flow patterns: may need 30-40 seconds and 2 refinements for ideal drip placement.
  2. Describe the drip effect

    Type your instruction: 'apply colorful paint drips melting down from the subject' or 'add black ink dripping effect starting from the eyes, flowing downward with realistic gravity.' Be specific about colors, starting point (top, bottom, sides, or specific feature like eyes/mouth), drip density (few thick drips vs many thin ones), and flow direction. The AI understands 'melting,' 'dripping,' 'flowing,' and 'oozing.' No marking needed for most drip effects.

    Tip: Specify drip density and thickness: 'several thick paint drips' vs 'many thin running streaks' for different artistic styles.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Rainbow paint drips from top apply rainbow-colored paint drips melting down from the top of the image, thick glossy paint texture with each color flowing at slightly different speeds
    Black ink dripping from eyes add thick black ink drips starting from both eyes and flowing down the face, with natural gravity and slightly uneven flow patterns
    Gold paint melting effect apply luxurious gold metallic paint dripping down from the top, thick glossy drips with reflective sheen and natural gravity flow
    Neon paint drips on dark background create bright neon pink and blue paint drips melting from the subject downward against dark background, glowing paint with electric colors
    3 more prompts
    Pastel drips with soft blend apply soft pastel-colored paint drips in pink, lavender, and mint green flowing from the top, with gentle blending where colors meet
    Blood drip effect add realistic dark red blood drips starting from the top and running down, with varying thickness and natural coagulation texture
    Watercolor drips with transparency create transparent watercolor paint drips in blue and purple flowing downward, showing layered transparency where drips overlap
  3. Generate and review flow

    Click Generate and watch paint drips appear. Check that drips follow natural gravity (flowing downward unless you specified otherwise), colors blend realistically at edges, and drip starting points make visual sense. Zoom in to verify paint texture looks authentic.

Rainbow paint portrait

Portrait transformed with rainbow paint drips melting from the top. Each color flows at different speeds, creating a dynamic multi-colored effect with glossy paint texture.

Black ink eye drips

Surreal portrait with thick black ink dripping from both eyes down the face. Uneven flow creates emotional, artistic impact with realistic gravity and texture.

Prompt: add thick black ink drips starting from both eyes and flowing down the face, with natural gravity and slightly uneven flow patterns

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where drips should start?

No! For most drip effects, just describe the starting area: 'paint drips from the top' or 'drips starting from the subject's face.' The AI understands general positions.

How do I make drip art look like real melting paint?

Real paint drips follow gravity, start thick and taper thin, and show paint texture. Include in your prompt: 'with natural gravity flow, thick at top tapering to thin streams, glossy paint texture with highlights.' Also specify paint type: oil paint is thick and textured, watercolor is transparent, acrylic is smooth and glossy.

Can drips flow in directions other than downward?

Yes! By default drips flow downward with gravity, but you can specify: 'paint drips flowing upward' for surreal anti-gravity effects, 'drips spreading sideways' for horizontal flow, or 'drips in all directions like an explosion' for radial patterns. Specify the direction explicitly in your prompt.

What's the best type of photo for drip art effects?

High-contrast photos with clear subjects work best: portraits with defined facial features, text/logos with sharp edges, objects with clear outlines. Simple backgrounds help drips stand out. Busy or low-contrast photos can make drips blend in and lose impact.

How do I create drips with multiple colors that don't turn muddy?

Keep colors separated by requesting 'each color separate without mixing' or use analogous colors (neighbors on color wheel like blue/purple/pink) that blend nicely. For vibrant results, limit to 2-3 colors. Or embrace natural mixing: 'rainbow drips with natural color blending where they meet' for realistic paint behavior.

Can I control how thick or thin the drips are?

Yes! Describe drip thickness: 'thick heavy paint drips' for bold chunky streams, 'thin running streaks' for delicate lines, or mix them: 'a few thick drips with many thin streaks.' Also control density: 'several spaced-apart drips' vs 'many overlapping drips covering the image.'
